The settlement is first mentioned in 1443 as a village belonging to Johann Kolia from Deleyiv. During the 15-17th centuries the territory of Pechenizhyn has developed into a separate estate known as Pechenizhyn Klyuch (Pechenizhyn Key) that included seven villages. Before
World War I on the outskirts of the town there was a palace of
Potocki family, the biggest Polish
magnates (landowners) in the territory of present-day Ukraine. Following
World War I, it was part of newly reborn Poland, within which it was located in the Kołomyja County in the
Stanisławów Voivodeship. Following the joint German-Soviet
invasion of Poland, which started
World War II in September 1939, the village was
occupied by the Soviet Union until 1941, then by Germany until 1944, and re-occupied by the Soviet Union, which annexed it from Poland in 1945. Until 26 January 2024, Pechenizhyn was designated
urban-type settlement. On this day, a new law entered into force which abolished this status, and Pechenizhyn became a rural settlement. ==Demographics==
